"What exactly is this thing?"
Herau had not participated in many battles before, but even he could tell how formidable Zagi was.
"Doesn't look easy to deal with," Masaki said, staring intently at Zagi's appearance.
"Tch. Looks like a real pain," Darramb cracked his knuckles, clearly eager to fight.
After that initial probing beam attack, all six Ultramen had reached the same conclusion—
Dark Zagi was no ordinary opponent.
They did not yet know how powerful his attacks were, but his sheer durability had already made itself abundantly clear.
Blocked from advancing, Zagi fixed his gaze on the six Ultramen standing in his way and let out a thunderous roar.
Dark Zagi was neither a robot nor an Ultraman.
He was a clone created using Noa's genes—a biological weapon.
The crucial problem was that Dark Zagi possessed no light at all.
Once he developed self-awareness, he immediately entered a berserk state.
In that sense, he resembled the Dark Giants of the Super Ancient era.
Yet Zagi was known as the Strongest God of Destruction of Darkness, and that title alone spoke volumes about the threat he posed.
"Let's go together!"
Having never truly fought a Dark Giant before, Achilles and Herau were eager to experience such a battle firsthand.
Especially Herau—his fist ignited in flames as he charged forward.
"Let me try this move!"
Achilles swiftly condensed a blue beam of light and fired it directly at Dark Zagi's head.
The beam detonated on impact, transforming into an extremely cold ice mist that coiled tightly around Zagi's body.
Zagi's mind was still in a berserk state. He paid no attention to such details—and before long, he was completely frozen into an ice statue.
At that moment, Herau arrived with his flaming punch and slammed it squarely into the frozen Zagi.
The ice statue shattered instantly, melting apart as Zagi was blasted backward through space.
"That was… Power Type and Sky Type energy?!"
Daigo was visibly surprised after observing Achilles and Herau's fighting styles.
Yu Zhou had told him that these two were the other Giants of Light who once stood beside Tiga's statue—Achilles and Herau.
Even so, Daigo found it strangely fascinating.
Tiga, Hudra, and Darramb were brothers.
Hudra and Darramb's powers had later become Sky Type and Power Type—or rather, Tiga had absorbed their power and transformed them into those forms.
"No… I should say Yu Zhou."
Regardless of whether Tiga was Yu Zhou, what truly amazed Daigo was this—
Achilles and Herau, Tiga's comrades, also wielded Sky Type and Power Type abilities, just like Hudra and Darramb.
"Don't space out, Daigo—move!"
Masaki shouted, charging forward himself.
Hudra and Darramb followed at once.
Anyone who stood in the way of reviving Camearra, whether Dark Giant or Light Giant, deserved to be wiped out.
The battle erupted in the vacuum of space beyond Earth.
Brilliant beams, explosive sparks, and violent collisions of light filled the battlefield in a dazzling spectacle.
Meanwhile, Yu Zhou remained suspended in Earth's sky, gazing at the steadily growing sphere of light before him, his heart filled with anticipation.
"Camearra… we'll meet again very soon."
He murmured softly as he continued sensing the light particles scattered across the planet.
Sending Daigo and the others to hold back Dark Zagi should not be a problem.
No matter how powerful Zagi was, there were six of them.
Even if they could not defeat him outright, keeping him outside Earth's atmosphere should be well within reach.
"Dark Zagi… a biological weapon created from Noa's genes."
As he searched for Camearra's particles, Yu Zhou recalled what he knew about Zagi.
"Noa's genes…"
That was the part he truly cared about.
Ultraman Noa was a legendary being—
a guardian of the universe since primordial times.
More importantly, Noa possessed the Wings of Noa, granting him the power to traverse space and time.
"Come to think of it, how many beings can actually travel through time?"
Yu Zhou counted them off mentally.
Ultraman Noa.
Zero, who was granted the Shield of Baraji by Noa.
X, who used Zero's card.
And…
That golden bastard—Tartarus.
"Wait… if I think about it this way, Charija actually qualifies too."
Yu Zhou suddenly realized it.
A single briefcase.
Roaming across worlds.
For Charija, time travel was nothing more than tweaking the settings on his suitcase.
"Yeah. Charija really is the GOAT."
Dark Zagi himself did not possess time-travel abilities, so Yu Zhou had no intention of exploiting him in that regard.
Instead, another thought crossed his mind.
Since Dark Zagi was similar in nature to the Dark Giants, could he be converted as well—turned into a Giant of Light?
Zagi had Noa's genes, but lacked Noa's light.
If he were given light and completely purged of darkness…
Could he become Noa?
"But the missing piece is the Plasma Spark."
Yu Zhou shook his head.
Too troublesome.
The Land of Light had a Plasma Spark, and now that this world was connected to the Tiga universe, he could travel there anytime.
But dragging a Dark Giant of this scale to the Land of Light—
would that version of the Land of Light really agree to it?
He cast the thought aside.
For now, reviving Camearra was all that mattered.
As time passed, the sphere of light before Yu Zhou continued to grow.
While gathering Camearra's particles, he could clearly sense the fierce battle raging beyond Earth.
The fight was intense, but neither side had gained a decisive advantage.
"Hm? That's—?"
As Yu Zhou monitored the battle, he suddenly noticed two streaks of light shooting from Earth toward the battlefield in space.
BOOM!!!
Herau and Darramb slammed into Dark Zagi simultaneously, striking his chest dead-on with tremendous force.
The impact echoed through space—but Zagi merely staggered back.
The next instant, Dark Zagi transformed into a purple afterimage and instantly reappeared behind Herau and Darramb, launching a counterattack.
Hudra and Achilles reacted immediately, turning into two violet streaks as they rushed toward Zagi.
Though slightly late—allowing Herau and Darramb to take a hit—their arrival changed the tide.
Their rapid, consecutive kicks forced Zagi to retreat repeatedly.
Masaki and Daigo continuously fired smaller light beams, harassing Zagi and supporting the four fighters engaged in close combat.
Under the relentless assault of six Ultramen, Dark Zagi roared in fury.
A dark purple beam gathered and fired straight toward Daigo and Masaki.
At that very moment—
Two spheres of light slammed into Zagi's body, violently interrupting his attack.
